This is just another Storm Drainage Improvement Project … or is it? We’re not talking about curb work, manholes, and storm inlets.  This time, the work involves clearing and replacing a long stretch of existing main storm drainage channel.  There’s a lot to be done in the back yards of many residences along the route from 99th Terrace to 97th Terrace in Overland Park, Kansas.  In addition, there is asphalt paving, grading, channel lining, RFB, retaining walls, storm drainage, lighting, ...

Here’s a great P-Tn captured UAS-drone aerial view of the 135th Street corridor in Overland Park, Kansas.  If you look very closely you can catch a glimpse of one of our field teams along this newly re-paved stretch of roadway.  That would be our photographers / videographers completing the POST-Construction documentation of the completed work by McAnany Construction of Shawnee, Kansas, which included improvements to 135th, Metcalf Avenue, Santa Fe Drive, and more! Get a birds-eye view of ... Read More about OVERLAND PARK ROADWAYS

We’ve been working diligently to capture images for the Time-Lapse of this residential custom home project by Partners Travis Brungardt and Joe Cook of Catalyst Construction in Prairie Village, Kansas. We now have a P-Tn Time-Lapse video that includes construction up to preparation of final roofing and siding.  In addition, our drone pilots have been capturing aerial footage at key milestones along the way and adding those to the ground-based Time-Lapse.  Travis and Joe have been clients for ...

Let’s share another milestone update on the residential build P-Tn is following for one of our favorite residential contractor clients.  We’ve been documenting this project from the original DEMOLITION of the house on the site for this new custom home.  This video short highlights the roof construction, where crews are installing Rockwool insulation followed immediately with Zip System sealing (same as on the exterior walls).  This milestone is important as it completes a major final step in the ...

POST-Construction documentation is often just as important as the PRE-Construction PHOTO / VIDEO record we create for linear projects.  Here’s one of our P-Tn field videographers walking for miles to record the after-construction restoration along a multi-land street improvement project in Overland Park, Kansas. We’re recording the completed asphalt pavement overlay, sections of curb & gutter that were replaced along the route, and an occasional section of sidewalk that was replaced, too.  ...

This photo has nothing to do with P-Tn’s commercial photography for the A/E/C industries, except that I was fortunate enough to have this opportunity to capture this unique shot.  Diggin for roots in the early morning hours as we drove along Route 14 from Yellowstone Lake toward the Sylvan Pass and YNP’s east entrance just beyond... Even from a distance in the relative safety of our car, you can appreciate the massive size, power, and majestic appearance of this impressive creature. Just ...

Those of you in heavy construction – one of the industries that P-Tn serves – are likely familiar with the Deep Foundations Institute and their trade publications.  We’re just taking a second to share a link to their latest bi-monthly issue … and calling your attention to the L.G. Barcus AD on page 64!  You are encouraged to read some of the articles, too, of course, but do take a moment to look at the Barcus ad.  Our staff assisted with the ad design and layout, plus just a bit of enhancing to ...
